Foreign nationals living in Ireland who need to travel abroad for emergency reasons say they should be exempt from spending two weeks in a hotel and have called for the Government to allow them to quarantine in their Irish residences.
Those affected say they have been left in an impossible situation due to the mandatory quarantine system, with many needing to travel abroad for funerals, medical procedures and to care for sick parents.
Laurence Helaili-Chapuis, an elected councillor of French citizens abroad and who is based in Ireland, says she has been contacted by dozens of French people who are deeply distressed by the quarantine measures.

âIâm confident itâs in compliance with Irish law, with EU law, we notified the commission, and indeed EU health ministers agreed that these kind of measures could be taken.â
